I have used still cameras from 10×8 down to Half frame; long before digits came into it. All of that has been a joy. My comments were not a criticism. The GX7 looks great; but I tend to put glass first. Do you think that approach is wrong?

Some of the best 48 sheet posters I have seen were shot with a Nikon F, 50mm F1.4 and Tri-X; with grain like footballs! It is mostly the idea that makes an image great.

Mon, 16 Sep 2013 18:47:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=296732#comment-309365I still use Nikon DSLRs and a Canon G10. I am slow to change that because it IS expensive to do so and I still like them. Choosing a camera is mostly about what you feel comfortable with.

I am only indication the way I would chose a camera system now; not putting any camera maker down. In my opinion Olympus make some of the best lenses in the world; both in cameras and medical.

once you’ve hit about 6MP you have more enough to print high quality art prints to A3+ and beyond. Everything else beyond that is just allowing you to crop your images post pro.Most of my digital work has been done with a EOS D60 which lasted me almost 8 years and was replace only because it wore out

Even lower pixel counts will work for viewing prints beyond a couple of meters – I have poster size (A2+ and A1+) printed out from images cropped down to 3mp which at viewing distance are bright, sharp and sell well.

as for glass, maybe take a look at the test results that give some of the Oly and Pano lenses high results, My GF1 lives with the 20 1.7 lens and constantly produces poster quality prints that sell well

The larger the pixel in terms of area, the better signal-to-noise ratio, especially in low light. Unless you do a lot of large format prints, having more pixels is next to useless. As for glassware, both Panasonic and Olympus offer professional-grade lenses.

There are some fantastic m43 lenses currently available, including some made by Leica. And it’s not all about the mpixels…dynamic range and high ISO performance are equally, if not more important. Unless you’re planning on printing a billboard…in which case you’d use a Hasselblad, right?

However 16 Meg is not that impressive at the moment. It would take a lot for me to consider this a particularly attractive option. I would rather look for a company with really superb glassware and see what they had to offer.
